ADC Women’s Empowerment Forum

The American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC) is proud of our Women’s Empowerment Forum (WEF), aimed at addressing challenges surrounding gender equity. This is consistent with ADC’s mandate as an inclusive, secular, non-partisan civil rights organization. The WEF will promote issues such as women leadership roles and gender equity. The WEF will highlight the progress of women’s rights in addition to raising awareness in areas such as STEM, gender wage-gap, education access, and women’s healthcare and reproductive rights.

Mission Statement:
